First 7lb chub comes from high and coloured river - Craig Hall

“The Thames was up and coloured, but I thought there could be a chance of a chub. Fishing close to some snags, I introduced a few handfuls of Elips pellet, boilie halves and worm extract with a bait dropper and fished hardened bloodworm dumbbells. 

“Just on dark, my rod rattled off and I bent into a heavy weight. When I got the chub on to the scales, I was buzzing to see I’d caught my first-ever seven!”
